Well. I guess that answers that.
However, in the future, wouldn't it be easier for the Devs to just ask us why we prefer some things over others?

Hell, even if there was no 15 merit cost for the new incarnate powers I still wouldn't mind an emp/ast conversion.

Adding to Positrons post above, weve been following your concerns regarding the gating of these new Incarnate trees and we ultimately agree that its unfair to gate some characters concept powers while not gating others. While we want to provide you with compelling options to spend your Incarnate Merits on, the original design ran counter to our desire to provide Incarnate abilities for all origins and concepts. Because of these considerations, weve removed the unlock cost for these trees in an upcoming build, and we look forward to seeing your builds find new and clever uses for them. The Dev Team agrees that part of the games strength has always been allowing characters of any concept to be created and we want to support that strength with your Incarnate Abilities. That and Second Measure told me to take them out. -Hawk |

We should all do a UGT for bombs and the seedling badges. That will make the Devs happy.

I thought his post was actually very positive. They are looking for feedback on how to get people to play the other content. He thinks increasing rewards is an option as is the (although undesirable) idea of another currency. I for one am fine with a new currency as long as there is a conversion method.
Also, I think if you want to doom, you need to pay Flux a tax as he's the mayor of Doomopolis :P lol

The warning is that he notices we always take the easy-way-out of stuff. "What is too hard? What only appears to be too hard on the surface? I hope that the lessons we’ve all learned from this can help us create some awesome content."
If there is some difficulty we just fall back on BAF/LAM becuase we have them down to 20 minute intervals (excluding form-times), and know that we can roll through them without worry of failing. When something new is introduced we are not urged to run them because we can just continue doing the easy thing, and get the same reward.
I am hoping for another currency, as long as there is conversion that does not have obscene costs attached to it. Although really, I don't want one (moar currency) this is the 'easiest' option.

Your sarcasim/snark/directed insults while entertaining don't help the current situation. Continue if you will, but your opinions become less and less valid the more you allow these childish activities to continue.

Positron's comments are positive (surprisingly so, but as I've said before, I'm jaded), but they also serve as a guideline for what the playerbase and the developers should be focusing on in the future.
I'm normally not a doom and gloom person, but the changes that were proposed are par for the course in MMOs and I've NEVER seen this big a response to the subject.
Quote:
I think this is because CoX is a fundamentally different MMO. The Devs are easing us into the "Live to Raid, Raid to Live" mode, but this isn't what the playerbase ever wanted. CoX was the game without phat lewtz and raiding. Now that we're getting used to Raiding 4 Lewtz, they want to take away our lewtz... we're getting mixed messages!

Unfortunately, to actually keep your clothes in your room, you will need to do some task a few times to build up clothing credit. Once you get to a certain point, you can actually store clothing in your room. However, you will then need to buy the clothing. You will also get a token for successfully completing the task. Save those tokens, they could be important. Don't worry, you'll only have to do this for shirts, shoes, pants, underwear, and hats. Once you finish that, we will talk about those tokens and what you will need to do about the various sub sets of apparel. i.e. T-shirts vs dress shirts vs coats, boots vs tennis shoes vs dress shoes, jeans vs slacks vs sweat pants, etc. Welcome to Doomopolis. We hope you enjoy your stay.  |

Now that they rolled back the most egregious changes, I can get my clothes back and retire to my sumptuous villa in Fanboiville.

lol. That's ok man. Let it never be said that Doomopolis doesn't do it''s part in helping the less fortunate. There's a new "Greek" style bath house opening up and they need towel boys. I believe given the circumstances you outlined above, you'll be getting more tips than you ever thought possible and will probably be able to afford clothes in no time.
Welcome to Doomopolis. We hope you enjoy your stay.
